Schloss Affing, Manor castle in Affing, Germany
Schloss Affing is a three-story castle with a gable roof and a central projection in Affing, Swabia. It stands next to an enclosed park containing an orangerie building from the nineteenth century.
The castle survived multiple destructions starting in 1040 before Baron Johann Baptist von Leyden began constructing the present structure in 1694. This rebuilding marked a turning point in the site's continuous occupation over many centuries.
The entrance displays a wooden door from 1777, while the building exhibits family emblems including a unicorn for the Gravenreuth family and a Bavarian lion.
The castle sits at Schlossplatz 1 in Affing and holds status as a protected cultural monument of Bavaria. Visitors should note this is a private site, so checking access times in advance is recommended.
The castle grounds contain a stream, pond, bridges, and a boat house along with a grotto dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes from the nineteenth century. This religious site reflects the spiritual devotion that residence held during that period.
